That's all.

Thank you, Alex Ponomarev.

Nobody can't help me???
Too hard task?
How do you think, may be it's a question for Husken?

Thank You Christian!!!
I have followed your advice and sent e-mail to Huesken.
But i very doubt to get answer.
For me Andre Huesken - the first author of most catalogues that
i have learned.
I think he's very busy man.

The "latin" inscription on the reverse makes no sense at all - in fact, it's not real latin at all. Also note the "König" at the obverse's bottom - the medaller? If this thing isn't a hocus, the only thing I could think of is that it might be from a "studentischer Orden" - a student's secret society very loosely modelled on the Masons. These were en vogue at German universities in the 1780/1790ies. Being secret, they evloved particular "secret" symbols, signs and language, including abbreviations that were supposed to befuddle outsiders. They also had emblems, mostly crosses on ribbons, which they wore at their get-togethers. Might this be such an emblem? Just just a wild guess, though, and please don't laugh at me if this is, in fact, some well-known medal.

Thank you Schleppfux for your assistance!!!
I can never laugh at the man who try to help me!
It's not right!!!
About script on the reverse:
I think it's mean: It's a new way to defense Olsnense.
Olsnense was a town and a part of Braunschweig in that 1793.

Friedrich August Herzog zu Braunschweig-Öls was into gnostic-Hermeticism, mysticism and alchemy. So there may be some secret society connection after all. The Latin means, sort of, "Behold, a new splendor and guard/protection of (the people of) Öls."

Mr. Andre Huesken answer

Dear Alex,
thanks for your mail. I know this medal, it is a pay homage medal 1793 from Olsnense. Normaly the medal has no ring, the ring on the top makes somebody prive later (at this old time). The sales value here in Germany is € 150 in good condition.
Sincerely yours Andre Huesken
